* pfexec become plugin: fix broken defaults for illumos/SmartOS The pfexec become plugin has had incorrect defaults since it was migrated from Ansible core, making it unusable on illumos without manual workarounds: 1. become_flags defaulted to '-H -S -n' which are sudo flags. pfexec does not accept any of these options, causing: 'exec: illegal option -- H' 2. wrap_exe defaulted to false. Unlike sudo, pfexec does not interpret shell constructs internally. Since Ansible generates compound commands (echo BECOME-SUCCESS-xxx ; python3), these must be wrapped in /bin/sh -c for pfexec to execute them. These issues were originally reported in 2016 (ansible/ansible#15642), migrated to community.general as #3671, and partially fixed by PR #3889 in 2022 (which corrected quoting but not the defaults). Users have had to work around this with explicit inventory settings ever since. Changes: - become_flags default: '-H -S -n' -> '' (empty) - wrap_exe default: false -> true - build_become_command: handle empty flags cleanly - Updated tests to match corrected defaults - Added test for custom flags - Improved wrap_exe description to explain why it should be enabled * Update changelog fragment with PR number * Fix ruff formatting in test_pfexec.py * Address review feedback from russoz Remove redundant 'should generally be left enabled' description line and simplify become command return by removing unnecessary flags conditional. * Fix unit test regexes for empty default flags Match double space in test assertions when become_flags defaults to empty string, consistent with doas, dzdo, and pbrun test patterns. * pfexec become plugin: deprecate wrap_exe default rather than flipping Changing the wrap_exe default from false to true is a breaking change for the narrow case (e.g. ansible.builtin.raw) where the current default does work, so deprecate instead: remove the default, emit a deprecation warning when the option is unset, and treat that as false for now. Build the become command with " ".join() so an empty become_flags no longer produces a stray double space. Tests set wrap_exe explicitly so the deprecation warning does not fire during unit runs. * pfexec become plugin: target 14.0.0 for wrap_exe deprecation Per felixfontein's review, switch the deprecation target for the wrap_exe default from community.general 15.0.0 to 14.0.0, and reword the option description to mark the current default as deprecated rather than just "changing in a future release".
